Love, love, love this product!!!

I use this product every couple of years in early Spring in my beds to replenish the soil and give the ground cover a head start on looking great before the summer heat. It has great nutients, color and texture and feeds everything for three months. Can't beat that!!

Great soil.

Love this stuff. I mulch my leaves in the fall. In spring, when I plant wildflowers, I put down a little of this (1-2 inches, then put in my seeds and rake over them. I have amazing wildflowers!!!! I use those big bags of wildflower mixes I get from Home Depot every year. My neighbors say I have the prettiest garden in town. Oh...the patio...I built it myself with gray flagstones I bougth at home depot...where I bouth most of my plants, too.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I bought a bag of this to replant seedlings in when they were too big for their starter pots, but it was too early to put them in the ground, I was stepping up the size pot they were in. Every pot I used this in sprouted weeds. I don't know what kind, I didn't let them get big enough to tell. I know it was this soil, because I only had the problem in the pots where I used this. The same thing happened last year with the bag of it that I bought, but I figured it was something I had done. I know now that it's definitely the Miracle Grow garden soil. I also agree with the user who said it is inconsistent quality, I've had rocks and chunks of ?? in the bag. Previously I figured using it was better than nothing, but I've now had enough problems that it's not worth trying again.

Inconsistant quality

I purchase this about once per year when I need some extra soil to amend my garden. The quality varies greatly from lot to lot, year to year, even store to store. Some times you get mostly wood chips. Some times it's mostly a very heavy clay-like soil. Other times it's perfect. Very poor quality control. But I find this to be true with other brands of soil too. My advice is that if you happen to find a good batch by chance, then stock up on it.

Good quality

Miracle grow always has good products and this one was no different. Nice light soil. Easy to spread.

Pros: Great Quality

No, I do not recommend this product.

I had used this product before and liked it, but this year I purchased 7 bags for my smallish front garden and all 7 bags were mostly wood chips! If I had wanted mulch, I would have bought it! VERY disappointed in MiracleGro!

Miracle-Gro Garden Soil - DO NOT USE IN POTS

Some people may not be getting the results they want if they are using this Garden Soil in a pot. I picked this up in error and good thing I called the company. They said it's too dense for a pot and may suffocate the roots. It has to be used in the ground and mixed 50:50 with regular or top soil. There's a sign on the bag "not for containers". I'll make use out of it in my yard and will pick up the Potting Mix. The Potting Mix is what you want for containers and pots.

This is a great product to rejuvenate plants

I used the miracle grow soil on my tropical plants. I bought the plants on clearance and was hoping that they could be revived. I repotted them with this soil and they are still thriving and look so pretty. I also used this soil on my roses and when I reseeded some areas of my lawn. Great stuff!

Miracle-Gro does accomplish miracles!

If you have trouble keeping plants alive and thriving, I recommend this soil for your projects in flower beds and veggie gardens. Gives plants a good, healthy start, even in questionable soil. I've had marvelous results and will continue to use.

This soil does what it says it will do.

My flowers are HUGE this year and beautiful. I have never had so many people stop and stare at my garden and tell me how beautiful it is. Especially men!! This surprised me but men just love the colors and say how beautiful the flowers are. Mothers stop and show their kids the flowers and ask me what each one is. My vegetables are also doing well. They are also much bigger than last years and there are more of them per plant. (But these I keep hidden from the outside world so I don't have any comments to report.) Before I planted anything I put down several bags of Miracle-Gro for flowers and vegetables. In the 38 years I've been planting my gardens I have never had such a response. All by my adding Miracle-Gro this year. No kidding!

nice soil

used it to fill a hole in our yard made by frogs. didnt want to hurt them with hard dirt so we bough this soil, comes our smooth from the bag, looks, feels and smells great. filled the hole and put grass seeds on top. we should have a nice patch of grass in no time.

disappointed in quality

No, I do not recommend this product.

I usually have good things to say about Miracle-Gro soils but his batch was terrible. It had rocks, sticks, plastic and foil. What soil there was was clay like and smelled odd. I bought 10 bags and now I have to amend the soil that I bought to save time!

I'm very beginner so I can only say I have nothing unsatified.

Home Depot has asked me to give this product a review twice. I just put this garden soil mixed with top soil in my raised bed (actually, I was not use if I should use potting mix instead). I don't know if it will give me double size harvest or not. This is my first time gardening. I can only say, the soil smells nutritious, looks good, no stones blended inside, and easy to work with.
